With an increased demand this year\u00a0amidst the COVID-19 pandemic for warm winter clothing and food, families and individuals in need were able to receive much needed support thanks to the\u00a0Rogers Family\u00a0donation\u00a0to The Salvation Army York\u00a0Community Church.\u00a0\u00a0The donation of\u00a0$40,800\u00a0was\u00a0allocated to assisting people with clothing, food, practical support, and more.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were so grateful to receive the funds from the Rogers Family, it really helped us to serve our community in extremely impactful ways,\u201d said Major Donna Senter, Corps Officer.\u00a0\u201cWe have been able to reach out to a greater number of\u00a0new Canadians, who\u00a0at times, are unaware as to where to access resources. We\u2019ve been able to provide additional support,\u00a0particularly\u00a0with winter clothing which has always been a challenge. We\u2019re so thankful for\u00a0this generosity and support.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a successful initiative to help more people in need, this donation assisted 120 people with warm winter clothing, and 700 people were served through food services, totaling\u00a0820 beneficiaries. The funding has been\u00a0instrumental in complementing York Community Church\u2019s food supplier, The Railside, which at times is short on providing a variety of food options. In addition, the church\u2019s community children were able to receive healthy snacks and support, which has been so essential throughout the challenges posed by the pandemic lockdown.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were able to provide essential supports and hope to so many individuals and families in our area because of the Rogers\u2019 Family kind donation,\u201d said Corps Officer Senter. \u201cWe will continue to help our community members who are in need through our programs and services.\u201d<\/p>\n
